@mlmartin: "... recovering from Sistrunk's procedure, and fairly comfortable. AT 
first look at the incision revealed what appeared to be a very carefully 
done suicide attempt that failed. From the way I feel, I would guess 
that the surgery went well. I'll have a chance to find out when I talk 
with the doctor in the morning.
I took some percocet (ground and mixed with apple sauce) a while ago. 
That worked well so I tried a turkey sandwich which went down fairly 
well, too.
I only have significant pain when I swallow. I'm not complaining about 
that as I expected not to be able to swallow for a couple of days.

Who is this Bill Keeshan and what has he done with the real Captain 
Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan?
It's the percocet, I tells ya, the percocet.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The Clarabell you saw may not have been the Captain. He was fired for 
what looks like the crime of hiring an agent.

Alas, the drugs aren't all that good. I don't enjoy narcotics as they 
don't work particularly well on me. Enough oxycodone to relieve the pain 
also relieves consciousness. I hate taking Tylenol because, poisonous.

Yeah, that was before my time.  I was watching in the late 1950s.  But
I don't remember Clarabell being nice or calmrather the opposite, in
factand I don't remember the xylophone one way or the other.  Funny
what a case of the imaginary bends will do.  Maybe he became less nice
and more manic once he recovered from that.

It's fascinating how many different quotes from the Alice duology are
appropriate at various times in real life situations...

Wait! What? Snark? I have a supersnark in the basement. what should I do 
with it? I've spent a lot of money on this cooler with a sail. I would 
hate to have to give it up to hunters. It's not like they could eat it 
or anything.

I got a book of strange things said in bookshops for Xmas.
Customer: I'm looking for the fourth _Fifty Shades of Grey_ book.
Bookseller: There are only three in the series so far.
Customer: I saw it in another bookshop.  It was called _Fifty Shades
	  Trilogy_ and it was really big.
Bookseller: That's the boxed set.
